Trump administration may cede part of Yosemite
The Trump administration is considering relinquishing part of Yosemite National Park to a private development company in order to create a direct access road to a property located 83 acres away from the entrance, in exchange for land elsewhere. This move has sparked discontent among environmental advocates and opponents, who see it as a setback for public land protection. Officials justify the plan by claiming it aims to reduce travel times and lower emissions through the provision of a more efficient route, while the Department of the Interior denies that political pressures influenced the decision.
